Flash the stock rom with flashtool, for that look in the rooting guide in my signature. There's how to root your phone on 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware and there's how to use flashtool and install the firmware.
Is your bootloader locked?
Didn't you make a backup?

to enter flash mode proper drivers should be installed in ur pc.....
install sony update service in ur pc...it will automatically install s1 flashboot and fastboot drivers.

I'm from Portugal and here we have 15 days in which we can return the phone if it has a problem since we can not in any way give life to this mobile phone I think it best to go the store going to say that he died when he did the upgrade ics system. It is a good idea or should I seek a solution , i have the phone for 1 week

Turn phone off, remove battery, wait 5s, put battery, hold volume down and plug cable. Keep holding until led comes green.

Did you install the drivers from flashtool now?
Install flashtool, go to the installation folder>drivers and install the .exe (maybe your phone isn't included in the list, just tick everything which is offered and install all them).
Afterwards install sony pc companion and sony update service, drivers should be installed with it.
So turn phone off and while it's off hold volume down and while you hold it down connect the usb to pc. The led should turn green.
If it's red it could be battery isn't charged, so charge it. If charging doesn't work get a battery of a friend...
Well bro, proceed is said by mihahn, the led is red, just bcz you have installed extended stock Kernel, right???

That it vibrates is strange, normally you just hold volume down and connect. Don't power on or anything just press volume down and plug usb...
But if that's not the problem I haven't found something that may help you, yet

No,i cant enter either of them..my phone does not responds to anything..usb cable or charger..vol. up or vol. down or power..wish had never unlocked my bootloader because than i had never developed intrest in all these procedures..i admit,rooting and flashing custom roms,enjoying a vast range f applications for root was fun alltogether but a very costly one..i know i wont be able to get it replaced because i already voided my warranty by unlocking the f***ing bootloader..!!

But your charging light turns orange? That means you should be able to enter fastboot mode. Did you try removing the battery, leave it out of the phone for like a few minutes to be sure.
Then connect USB cable with volume up, without battery in the phone.
Let me know what you get then

Should i be messing with the test pointers to get this undone via hardware..or i should stick to software manipulations using diffrent combos..i hve removed the battery 10 minutes ago,i guess all the capacitor power will be gone by now..so what next should i do..??

First off calm down and think clearly. I hardbricked my S but revived it. First off the recovery should be related to the kernel. Put your battery in and hold volume up and power for ten seconds. Then let it chill for a few minutes. Then try and enter fastboot so you can flash a new kernel. I have NEVER EVER found a phone that couldnt be revived from brick and I have rooted and modded at least 15 different models and manufacturers. It can be done, you just need patience. Fastboot mode is the way to revive a device and once you get the proper kernel on you should be okay. Just keep trying to enter fastboot. Dont run your battery out all the way though, since sometimes you can get it to low the phone cant charge and the charge mode is related to kernel.
I do have same problem, please help me.

i need help just hard brick my xperia s .... no led no fastboot no flashboot....no logo.... nothing at all and i was with 80% battery please mailme at this direction [email protected] i trully need help i dont know what to do anymore
Post your own thread instead of necroing an old one will help. Also saying what happened before the phone died will also help.
Anyway, hold vol up + power for 20 seconds and see if you can get it to vibrate.
If so, after the 3rd vibrate, quickly hold vol down, then jam the USB cable in.
You are now in flashboot. Flash a stock ftf and you should be fine.

Saved my life!
Was stuck into SONY logo after "testing" each CWM function (like the wipe system, etc .. !)
Many thanks!
Xperia U bricked, tried many things but now it gets stuck at "SONY" logo
I am now downloading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430 stock ROM. can you suggest which kernel I will have to use to flash the boot partition with. and any steps I have to follow before flashing the stock ROM using flashtool ?
Background:-
I rooted my phone then unlocked the bootloader the official way.
Installed CM9. worked fine
Then I wanted to back to stock ROM (for some xyz reason)
I got a vodafone image and recovered the phone by flashing it but touchscreen was not working.
I think I have messed up a lot and now I cant get the CM9 working also (touchscreen doesnt work)
Touchscreen not working, is it a software or hardware related ?
I still believe if its software related it can be fixed somehow.
Thanks.

Follow this procedure and it will work ... self tested!!
1) Force shut the phone by pressing power button and volume + till the phone vibrates once and then three times
2) Charge the phone for a couple of hours
3) Now try connecting the phone in flash mode ...
4) Green light should show and if it does for a couple of sec and goes off then you can flash but you got do the whole procedure again from 1 to 3 and connect asap when flashtool prompts you to connect device
Try it out cheers!!

Remove the back cover and find the OFF button, you need to push it with a pencil while holding the power button at the same time until it vibrates or turns off.

1) Download correct ftf from general section, general one for your device.
2) turn phone off with power button under the back cover till you get the 3 vibrations.
3) download flashtool and install all the drivers.
4) start flashtool and close PC companion ( if you have this open)
5) plug USB into phone
6) hold volume down and plug USB into pc, ( should get a green light on xperia sp on led for short time)
7) flashtool should identify device attached in flash mode.
8) select flash and use correct tft you downloaded earlier.
You may need to get files ready as phone can then load to Sony logo again after a few minutes. Got to flash it quick. May need to do it 2-3 times before you get the timing right, took me a few attempts. Hope this helps.

yes you go to flashmod, but then you will need to browse and locate the file on your pc (where ever you downloaded it to) where is says firmwars use the box to the right to move through your drive and find the ftf. You should get something like a drop down list. For myself downloads go into my user download folder.
So long as your phone is turning on that is a good sign.

Тhank you.You saved my life..
When mine was stuck on the logo I had a short time between pluging in USB +volume down and it booting to Sony Logo probably about 1-2 minutes. In that time I had to get the flashtool started, it look me a couple of attempts to get the files selected quick enough and ready to flash. Only suggestion is keep trying or move the ftf to flashtool firmwares folder so you can access ftf quicker and not have to worry about finding them.

when flashing an ftf file, your phone must be completely turned off, when the flashtool says "connect your device" what you're going to do is hold the VOL DOWN button while connecting your micro-usb to your phone, when you connect the usb to your phone, the green LED light must light and then when the light comes out, that's the only time you'll release the VOL DOWN button.
Glad it worked for you.

Do exactly as follows, and your device will be fine..
first, keep the phone for charging.. that time u will either get a charging notification or a green led will be lit up, when u see either of these two,disconnect the device and it will stay off. Now move to the next step
Visit this link:
http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/pc-companion/
Click on Download PC Companion
Run the software and install it
Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer
1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9
2. In the welcome screen you will see the different modules available for you including the "Support Zone" option. Click on "Start" below it.
3. On the next page Click on "Start" under "Phone Software Update"
At this point if you get an error stating that "Unable to install update components" or "Server is busy" , then please proceed to step 12
4. The program will say that there is no phone connected. Click on the option below that reads: "Repair my phone" the program will issue you a warning about the content that you will lose during the update
5. Choose the option to continue.
6. The program will issue a final message warning you of possible data lost during the update. Click on the checkmark and then on "Next".
7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
8. Choose your phones model from the list then click on "Next" then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)
At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then while pressing and holding the indicated button (in the steps on screen an specific button will be shown for you to press on the phone) connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the indicated button until the program says "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..." is shown.)
Please do let me know if this has worked
Hi!! I need help with my Xperia U. I'm new to XDA, therefore I don't know if I'm in right place to ask this question.
It was working yesterday, but when I tried to install Rom(??), it won't boot anymore.
1. I rooted my XU.
2. I installed CWM with an app.
3. I tried to install stock Jelly Bean recovery from XDA. (I backed up. But now, my XU doesn't show up anything, so I cannot restore it.)
4. Completed installing file from zip.(In CWM.) I don't know I did this in right way, but I pressed the botton that says ''Install zips from SD card." I'm not sure if I need to flash something.
What I installed is this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-stock-6-2-0-400-xperia-version-3-1-t2253486
5. I forgot to wipe data and cache...
6. It started rebooting.
But the screen won't show up. I don't know what happened..
I changed boot animation in the past, and deleted old one before, so is it my failed..??
It's not booting up anymore, and when I pressed power botton, the green light shows up on the left corner o LED bar.
I also tried to press power botton and volume up, a blue light shows up and it goes away in 10 sec.
Nothing shows up. Not SONY Logo either...
In addition, when I connect to computer, the computer doesn't read.
If I press volume up and put usb cable, the computer reads it, but I don't know what to do.
I cannot use flash tool because I cannot install Xperia P U Sola driver. It is keep saying ''Install failed". can some one know how to install drivers?
I need somebody to help me as fast as you can. I didn't unlock bootloader I think. But I rooted it with one-click method.
PS sorry for my bad English... I hope somebody can fix my Xperia U.
Thanks.

Can you give me the link of stock ICS rom?(Please know that I don't think I didn't unlock bootloader, but I rooted) I see many sites that have ftf, but I'm not sure which one I should download. I don't want to download any bad files to my computer and phone. Also, can you explain how to use Flashtool? I think I know, but I don't want to mess up again.
